    It seems that he is losing a slight step due to getting older, but his style is meant to last. He has been at the top level for years and is still undefeated.

    So, how many years, without saying "he'll fight because he will go broke", can Floyd fight on for?

    I think the Wheels may start to fall off bad soon.

    If he really eats all the fast food, that he brags about..? Seriously his wheels will fall off. The human body does not owe you anything, you owe it the optimal amount of nutrients/Vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. I have seen Floyd Mayweather afew times brag about eating ****...

    Somebody so calculated and smart, i am unsure why he does it.

    I am actually not sure, because i have read that he has his own Chef!!!!

    I fairly sure that he's not telling the truth whenever he mentions fast food. I seem to remember there was a video of him bragging about eating crap food all the time, and one of his team/hangers-on in the background gave the game away when they sounded confused and said that he never normally at that way.

    I find it very hard to tell what is, and is not, real about Mayweather but one thing I don't believe is that he has a crappy lifestyle outside of the gym.

    He will lose on points eventually I feel. He can't go on forever and eventually he will handpick the wrong guy or get forced into a fight he doesn't need.

    He is undefeated for a reason!

    Never takes the big tests and has never beat an all time time great or Hall of Famer in their primes.

    It's almost inevitable that some time soon a younger, inferior, fighter with good stamina and output will simply outwork him and win on points. Floyd is past prime, and it's just a matter of time before a guy like Guerrero takes Floyd's '0'.

    How can you judge whether "his wheels are falling off"? His last fight was almost a year ago, and it was against Cotto who many said would be a good match for Floyd stylistically and it was. Ortiz fight meh. His next fight was nearly 3 years ago.

    I agree with you, I think Guerrero could give him an uncomfortable night and it will be workrate that will be Floyds undoing.
